A proven way to stop the cycle of incarceration

The proof is in the data. Massively reduced recidivism. A growing roster of TLM partner organizations. And the unlocked potential of TLM alumni, whose lives have been transformed by their successes.

Program Growth

The Expansion of TLM

Our work began in San Quentin, where we successfully implemented a Business and Technology Accelerator program. The emphasis was on creating a curriculum focused on market-ready technical skills. The acceptance of the program by the students and Corrections officials was immediate, permanent, and successful. TLM training is now offered in 13 facilities across seven states.
